The company suddenly said that it could provide sponsorship for famous athletes in Kenya.

The company is in a hurry.

According to the US report on March 7th, according to the e-mail contacts, letters, bank records and cost lists provided by a former employee of the Kenya Athletics Association, what happened next has triggered a scandal in Kenya, which is in the biggest anti-corruption force for many years.

In a contract signed a few years ago, Nike agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in expert compensation and a one-time $500 thousand signing of the former signing bonus.

Reported that the money was originally used to help train and support poor Kenya athletes to achieve their dream of getting rid of poverty through long-distance running.

Now, several Kenya officials have been taken away from the Union's bank account without recording their accounts.

Nike denied any wrongdoing.

But the authorities in Kenya feel suspicious.

They have launched a large-scale investigation, and all three Kenya track and field officials accused of taking Nike money have been suspended.

Investigators from the Kenya Criminal Investigation Department say they have repeatedly asked Nike to provide more information.

U.S. diplomats in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, say the US government is willing to investigate any credible allegations of corruption in US companies, but they have not yet got the details of the Nike contract beyond the Kenya and international news reports.

These allegations date back to a series of e-mails in 2009 when Kenya officials accused Nike of treating Kenya as a "dumping ground" for substandard Nike clothing.

However, these complaints may be the release of Kenya officials from Nike to allow them to accept bribes from another company, a member of the Executive Board of the Kenya Athletics Federation, called track and field Kenya.
